Emails
There are various Profile-specific emails that can be configured in TracCloud. Most are sent automatically, such as Confirmations and Reminders, while some are sent manually, like Visit Notes. This article will provide an overview of these email types, what they do, and how they can be customized for your use-case.

References:

  • Twig
Twig and Twig Tags are used extensively throughout emails. This includes simple elements, like using {{Student.First_Name}} to display a student's first name dynamically, to more advanced logic determining exactly what text is included in each email. This article will be referencing Twig, but will not being going into detail. For more information on this topic, take a look at our dedicated Twig Guide.
In the top right corner of your 'Emails' menu is an 'Email Tags' list. This provides quick access to all of your available tags for these emails, which can also be clicked and dragged into text fields to populate them automatically.

  • Previewing Emails
Every email in this menu has a Preview button to see how your email will display when it's sent. It is required to preview emails before saving any changes. The preview will show the most recent record of that time in the system by default, you can specify a different record to use as an example by clicking the "Sequence #" button the preview window.

  • Loading Default Emails
Most email prefs here offer a default that you can load, either to use as-is or as a template to build off of. Click the clipboard icon next to your email to load the default email format.

Select an email type below to learn more.


Confirmation Emails



Confirmation Emails are sent to Students, Consultants, and an optional third address when an appointment is booked. Consultants and Students can receive unique versions of this email, depending on the information required for either party. You can also decide whether the email is sent the moment the appointment is booked, later in the night, or at a specific time in the morning.

3077721.png

  • Send Confirmation Emails
Disable this email, send immediately upon Appointment being booked, or send in a batch that night or the next morning at a time of your choice.


  • Student/Consultant confirmation email subject
The subject line of the email, supports Twig Tags just like the body of the email.


  • Student/Consultant confirmation email
The body of the email to be sent to Students/Consultants.


  • Student/Consultant confirmation SMS Msg
A separate message sent to the Student/Consultant's phone. Requires TextAlerts Module.


  • CC the Profile on Student/Consultant confirmation emails
This option will send a copy of this email to your Profile email address if available.


  • Send Confirmation to Consultant Also
Allows you to independently disable the Consultant confirmation email, if they're more likely to rely on other resources to see their appointments for the day.


7970512.png

  • Send Additional Email on New Appointment
This allows you to enable one more Confirmation email to be sent to the email address defined below.


  • Additional confirmation email address
In the example above, we're using a Custom Field in the student's profile that contains their Assigned Advisor's email address. We can also choose to have a static email address in this field instead.


  • Additional confirmation email subject
Just like the standard Confirmation emails, we can write out our custom subject line...


  • Additional confirmation email
...and the email body itself.

Reminder Emails



Reminder Emails are sent to Students and Consultants to remind them of upcoming appointments. Just like confirmations, this can be configured separately for students and consultants. You can set the exact time reminder emails are sent each day, either the night before or a custom time in the morning. Reminders can also be disabled for students, consultants, or both.

3003554.png

  • Send Reminders Emails
Disable Reminder emails, or choose to send them the night before or the morning of the Appointment date at a specified time.


  • Student/Consultant reminder email subject
The subject line of the email, supports Twig Tags just like the body of the email.


  • Student/Consultant reminder email
The body of the email to be sent to Students/Consultants.


  • Student/Consultant reminder SMS Msg
A separate message sent to the Student/Consultant's phone. Requires TextAlerts Module.


  • CC the Profile on Student/Consultant reminder emails
This option will send a copy of this email to your Profile email address if available.


  • Send Reminder to Consultant Also
Allows you to independently disable this email for Consultants. This is typically disabled if you plan to use Consultant Schedule Summary Emails instead.

Cancellation Emails



Cancellation Emails will be sent to Students and Consultants immediately upon appointment cancellation. Each user-type will receive a unique email with information about the cancelled appointment.

8745743.png

  • Send Cancellation Emails
Enable or disable this email type.


  • Student/Consultant cancellation email subject
The subject line of the email, supports Twig Tags just like the body of the email.


  • Student/Consultant cancellation email
The body of the email to be sent to Students/Consultants.


  • Student/Consultant cancellation SMS Msg
A separate message sent to the Student/Consultant's phone. Requires TextAlerts Module.


  • CC the Profile on Student/Consultant cancellation emails
This option will send a copy of this email to your Profile email address if available.

Missed Appointment Emails



Missed Appointment Emails are sent to the Student when an Appointment is missed. This email can be sent the evening of, or the day after the appointment should've taken place.

1187829.png

  • Send Missed Appointment Emails
Disable, or choose when this email is sent.


  • Change missed appointment to Status
When this process runs, it will automatically change the appointment status if there's no corresponding visit record. This setting determines what status the appointment is set to, which will typically be the same as your Profile 'Status for missed' definition.


  • within x Minutes before/after appointment time
A time buffer can be assigned here to determine when an appointment should be counted as 'Missed' if there's a Visit record in close proximity. For example, if a student has a 9:00am Appointment, but they started their Visit at 9:05am, we probably shouldn't mark this Appointment as missed, but if the Student is 25-minutes late, maybe that does qualify as a 'Miss' for your campus. 30-minutes in both fields is what most campuses tend to start with.


  • Student appointment missed email subject
The subject line of the email, supports Twig Tags just like the body of the email.


  • Student appointment missed email
The body of the email to be sent to Students.


  • Student appointment missed SMS Msg
A separate message sent to the Student's phone. Requires TextAlerts Module.


  • CC the Profile on Student appointment missed emails
This option will send a copy of this email to your Profile email address if available.

Auto Cancellation Emails from Student Cancellations



Student auto cancellation emails will be sent only if this functionality is enabled. The first two preferences in this menu allow you to define a limit for how many consecutive recurring appointments a student can cancel before TracCloud automatically cancels the entire series.

  • Cancel recurring appointments after # consecutive student cancellations
This enables or disables the auto-cancellation functionality for recurring appointments. If this is disabled ("No"), all other preferences in this menu can be ignored.

Consultant Schedule Summary Emails will be sent to consultants the evening before or the morning of their schedule appointments. This single email can contain information about multiple upcoming appointments, rather than receiving individual emails for each appointment. You can write the opening/top of the email, the repeating text box for appointment information, and the final/closing text.
